Our Story

My name is Desorae Davis.

For a long time, I felt like I was becoming someone without fully knowing who that would be. I did not have a clear plan or all the answers for my life, but I wanted to keep moving forward and stay close to God as I did.

I started writing during seasons when my thoughts felt loud and my direction felt unclear. Journaling became a place to slow down and be honest. When I found myself believing things about myself that were not true, whether from my own fears or from the enemy, I needed a way to return to what God says in His Word.

That is where Upon Becoming began. It grew out of returning to Scripture for truth and grounding. Using the SOAP method, Scripture, Observation, Application, and Prayer, the journal became a way for me to write through God’s Word and remind myself of who He says I am, even when I struggled to believe it.

Grief has shaped my life in many ways. I have experienced losses before, but I felt grief in a substantially different way when I lost my brother. Over time, it showed up in different ways. Writing remained one of the few places where I could be honest about the pain, the memories, and the questions I carried.

My grief journal came from reflecting on both where I have been and where I am now. I thought about what I needed then, what I still need, and what someone walking through loss might need in their own time. It was created to offer space without pressure or expectation for whatever grief looks like in each season.

These journals were created from real seasons of faith, uncertainty, loss, and becoming. They are not answers. They are places to return to truth, to write honestly, and to keep moving forward one day at a time.

If you are walking forward without a clear map, you are welcome here.
